you are right of course. But US surveillance has been public knowledge before snowden and even the big shock then wasn't that they were mass spying everyone, it was that they were spying US citizens as well which was supposed to be illegal. So legality doesn't even matter. They will find their loopholes anyway. It's the intent of the council and the bureaucracy for more control that worries me.
